My friend that LOVE Frizzle visited yesterday. She loves chickens and she thinks Frizzle is so amusing. It's funny how the chicken has more fans than I do.
We watch tv together sometimes. I really like laying with her. If I'm lucky she will get close and rub her head up against me.
This is her neighbor Paco. His cage is right next to hers. They can't be near each other because Paco would hurt her but I feel like she does benefit from living in a room with other birds.
I have tried so many beddings for her cage and none of them work the way I want them to. Wood shavings, wood pellets, and all sorts of shredded paper. She, of course, scratches at whatever I put in her cage and ends up flinging it in her food and water bowls. I like the shredded paper because it's easy to pick up and doesn't cost me a penny to make. But I'm pretty sure she eats it, lol. I bought her a bag of layer pellets on Friday. She isn't crazy about them. It seems like she holds out for treats or something. I usually throw her a grape or some kind of fruit/veggie every day. I give her cracked corn as a treat and I swear she's addicted. I still haven't ordered her a diaper. It's not that bad without it. Like someone said early the regular poops are a breeze. since I have had parrots my whole life it doesn't even bother me. But the cecil poops bother me. The smell is terrible! Spring is just a couple weeks away! Then I can start taking her outside again. I might try to build her a cage to get some sun in. I don't trust the animals out there so I would never leave her out overnight. Hope everyone is enjoying their house chickens!
